1 NEW νe Appearance Results from the T2K Experiment Matthew Malek Imperial College London University of Birmingham HEP Seminar 13 June 2012
2 Outline Physics motivation: Neutrinos & Oscillations Overview of the T2K experiment Data taking at T2K νe analysis: Selection criteria Expected backgrounds Systematic uncertainty New data set New oscillation results Summary & conclusions 2
3 Neutrino Basics Weakly interacting isospin partners of charged leptons Standard model includes three massless stable neutrinos, but... As early as fifty years ago, discussions of massive neutrinos and oscillations had begun! Maki, Nakagawa, Sakata (June 1962) 3
4 Early Hints of Oscillation Solar Neutrinos Atmospheric Neutrinos SNU Experiments Theory 7 Be pp 0.55±0.08 B 8 CNO 2.56 ±0.23 Cl 37 Homestake Kamioka H2O Kamiokande (1992) 4
5 1998: Neutrino Mass! Neutrinos from above travel 10s of km from point of origin Neutrinos from below travel 1000s of km Super-Kamiokande (1998) ~530 days data-taking ~400 ν events 5
6 Oscillation Basics Neutrinos have mass! Flavour eigenstates: νe, νµ, ντ Mass eigenstates: ν1, ν2, ν3 Produced and interact as flavour eigenstates; propagate as mass eigenstates: where: 6
7 Oscillations Probability Parameterization of the PMNS matrix Uli : Contains a CP violating phase (δ) Oscillation probability depends on energy (E), distance travelled (L), the mixing matrix (U), and the difference in the squares of the neutrino masses ( m2 ) 7
8 Experimental Probes Parameterization of the PMNS matrix Uli : Probed with atmospheric neutrinos, long baseline accelerator neutrinos (1998 onwards) Probed with solar neutrinos, long baseline reactor neutrinos (2001 onwards) Probed with: long baseline accelerator neutrinos, short baseline reactor neutrinos (unknown at start of last year!) 8
9 : Race For θ13 Two types of experiments: 1) Long baseline accelerator expts: Look for νe appearance in a νµ beam MINOS, T2K, NOνA 2) Short baseline reactor expts: Look for νe disappearance Double Chooz, Daya Bay, RENO 9
10 Measuring θ13 Long baseline accelerator: Sensitive to θ13, δ, mass hierarchy CP violating (flips sign for anti-ν) where: Cij = cos(θij) Sij = sin(θij) Solar Matter ij = mij (L/4E) Short baseline reactor: Sensitive only to θ13 10
11 Long baseline accelerator: Sensitive to θ13, δ, mass hierarchy νe νµ ντ 11
12 Long baseline accelerator: Sensitive to θ13, δ, mass hierarchy νe νµ ντ MINOS T2K 12
13 Daya Bay, RENO Double Chooz Observed by KamLAND 13
14 θ13 Results: Accelerators One year ago today: T2K announces first indications of θ13 June 13th 2011 Six electron neutrino events are observed, with 1.5 ± 0.3 background events expected P-value (assuming no oscillations) is 0.007, or 2.5σ. 14
15 θ13 Results: Accelerators One week later: MINOS sees 62 evts w/ 49.5 ± 2.8 (sys) ± 7.0 (stat) BG (1.7σ excess) 15
16 θ13 Results: Reactors March 2012: Daya Bay first to see θ13 via disappearance channel sin2(2θ13) = ± (stat) ± (sys) (θ13 = 0 excluded at 5.2σ) Similar results followed one month later from RENO 16
17 Oscillation Parameters Standard parameterization for Dirac neutrinos has: 3 mixing angles, 2 mass square differences, 1 CP phase What do we know? sin2(2θ12) = 0.87 ± 0.03 m212 = 7.59 ± 0.20 x 10-5 ev2 SK, SNO, KamLAND sin2(2θ23) > 0.92 (90% C.L.) m232 = 2.43 ± 0.13 x 10-3 ev2 SK, K2K, MINOS T2K, MINOS, Daya Bay, RENO sin2(2θ13) = ±
18 Open Questions Q: What do we still need to know? A: Two big questions in front of us now: 1) What is the CP violating phase δ? 2) What is the mass hierarchy? Electron neutrino appearance can help answer both questions! 18

28 T2K: We're Back! After taking data from January 2010, T2K was shut down by the Great Eastern Japan Earthquake and Disaster on March 11th On Dec.9, 2011, J-PARC LINAC operation restarted!!! On Dec.24, 2011, Neutrino events observed at T2K-ND280!! On Mar.9, 2012, physics quality data-taking resumed! (Run 3) 28
29 Instantaneous Luminosity March 11, 2011 Earthquake RUN-1 RUN-2 RUN-3 Achieved 190 kw of continuous running in Run 3 Compared to 145 kw in Run 2 and 50 kw in Run 1 Increased pulse repetition rate, bunches per pulse, protons per bunch protons per pulse (world record) 29
30 Integrated Luminosity March 11, 2011 Earthquake RUN-1 RUN-2 RUN-3 Run 1 3 data sets = 2.56 x P.O.T. for SK analysis Run 1: 0.32 x P.O.T. (2010) Run 2: 1.11 x P.O.T. ( ) Run 3: 1.12 x P.O.T. (to May 15th 2012) Thus far, ~4% of the total data has been collected (assuming design goal) 30
31 Beam Stability: Rate & Direction 0 mrad Beam dir. stability < 1mrad Beam is quite stable in space (1 mrad tolerance) and time (within 1%) 31
32 Outline Physics motivation: Neutrinos & Oscillations Overview of the T2K experiment Data taking at T2K νe analysis: Selection criteria Expected backgrounds Systematic uncertainty New data set New oscillation results Summary & conclusions 32
33 Reconstructing ν Energy Only final state lepton is reconstructed Neutrino energy can be determined with certain assumptions: Neutrino direction is known (beam direction) Recoil nucleon mass is known (use neutron mass) Target nucleon is at rest (not quite true; introduces smearing) 33
34 Neutrino Interactions In the region of interest for T2K, large contribution from charge current quasi-elastic scattering: Also significant CC contribution with pion in final state NCπ0 is a major background mode from electron appearance: Photons from π0 can fake electron signal T2K beam peak energy 34
35 νe Signal & BG (at SK) Oscillation signal: Beam νe background: Beam background has harder energy spectrum Neutral current π0 background: Can be removed by identifying second photon ring 35

ND280 event selection: Good negative track in fiducial volume Upstream TPC hit Muon ID by TPC (for CCQE events) 1 FGD-TPC track No decay-e in FGD For CCQE selection: 40% efficiency 72% purity 42
43 SK Expectation Predicted # of Events Systematic Err. Large improvement from 2011 analysis: ~18% for sin2(2θ13) = 0.1 ~23% for sin2(2θ13) =
44 SK Data Sample: Timing SK synchronized to beam timing w/ GPS SK events fully contained in ID show clear beam time structure Non-beam BG estimated from timing sidebands; event rate is negligible (~0.04 events in current data set) 209 FC events In total, there are 209 events in the current data sample that are in time with the beam and fully contained within the SK inner detector (Step 1 of the data reduction) KS probability = 49.2% 44
45 SK Data: Spatial Distrib. Vertex distributions shown in horizontal (XY) and vertical (Z vs. R2) planes Beam direction marked by arrow No anomalous behaviour in distribution After fiducial volume cut applied, 151 events remain in the data 151 events 45
46 SK νe Data Reduction Step 3: Single e-like ring Events Step 4: Visible energy cut Events Step 5: Decay electron cut Events 46
47 SK νe Candidate Sample Step 6: π0 mass cut Events After νe selection is applied Step 7: Reconstructed energy cut Events 10 candidate events remain! (Recall, background expectation is 2.73 ± 0.37 events) 47
48 Evidence of appearance! 0.08% The p-value to observe 10 or more events with 2.73 ± 0.37 BG is (equivalent to 3.2σ) This confirms the T2K 2011 result [PRL 107, (2011)] We now have first evidence of νe appearance! 48
49 Allowed Regions: θ13 and δ For sin2(2θ13) = 0, probability to observe 10 events = Assuming sin2(2θ23) = 1.0 and m232 = 2.4 x 10-3 ev2 At δcp = 0, best fits are: sin2(2θ13) = sin2(2θ13) =
50 Outline Physics motivation: Neutrinos & Oscillations Overview of the T2K experiment Data taking at T2K νe analysis: Selection criteria Expected backgrounds Systematic uncertainty New data set New oscillation results Summary & conclusions 50
51 Future Plans Short term: Results from data collected up to summer shutdown ready soon Update on νµ disappearance results coming shortly Increased precision on θ23 necessary to probe CP violation Precision measurements of neutrino cross sections Medium term: Continue running at higher beam power: ~8e20 POT (2013) ~1.2e21 POT (2014) Sterile neutrino searches More precise measurements of νe appearance to evaluate sub-leading ~1.8e21 POT (2015) effects, such as CP violation and the mass hierarchy! Long term: Anti-neutrino running? Hyper-Kamiokande? 51
52 Summary & Conclusions In 2011, 6 electron neutrino appearance candidate events were observed (p-value = 0.007), which indicated θ13 0 This year, J-PARC resumed operation after recovering from the Great East Japan Earthquake of March T2K resumed taking physics data with a beam power of ~190 kw Based on 2.56 x 1020 POT collected at SK by May 2012, a total of 10 electron neutrino appearance candidate events were observed: p-value = (3.2σ) sin2(2θ13) = The systematic uncertainty is greatly reduced! (~10%) (for normal hierarchy assumption) First evidence for electron neutrino appearance! This result opens the possibility of probing CP violation in the lepton sector, as well as determining the neutrino mass hierarchy 52
